Chapter Objective
This chapter describes installation of the 6181 Industrial Computer
including how to install the 6181 Computer in a panel using mounting
studs or clips.
European Union Compliance
The 6181 Computer meets the European Union Directive requirements
when installed within the European Union or EEA regions and has the CE
mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the
Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley Internet site: www.ab.com
ATTENTION: The 6181 Computer is intended to
operate in an industrial or control room environment,
which utilizes some form of power isolation from the
public low voltage mains. Some configurations may not
comply with the EN 61000-3-2 Harmonic Emissions
standard as specified by the EMC Directive of the
European Union. Obtain permission from the local power
authority before connecting any configuration that draws
more than 75 watts of AC power directly from the public
mains.

Environmental Considerations
Mount the 6181 Computer in a panel or enclosure to protect the internal
circuitry. Versions with a gasketed bezel meet NEMA Type 1, 12, 13 and 4
(Indoor use) and IEC IP54, IP65 only when mounted in a panel or
enclosure having an equivalent rating. The non-display version does not
have a gasket and has a NEMA Type 1 and IEC IP2X rating.
Allow enough room within the enclosure for adequate ventilation. Also
consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. The ambient
temperature around the 6181 Computer must be maintained between 5°
and 50 °C (41°to 122 °F). The 6181 Computer is intended for use in
Pollution Degree 2 environments.
Make sure you provide provisions for accessing the back and side panels
of the 6181 Computer to install/remove components and to access the
floppy disk drive.
ATTENTION: The 6181 Industrial Computer is designed
for vertical panel-mount installation. Do not mount the
6181 Computer with DVD-ROM or CD-R/W option with
an angle more than 5 degrees from vertical. This may
cause operational problems with the DVD-ROM or CD-
R/W drive, and may result in damage to your media.

Mounting Clearances
Allow adequate space for mounting, air flow, and maintenance. The figure
below shows recommended minimum clearances to other components
within the rack or enclosure.
ATTENTION: The 6181 Computer should not be
operated within a confined space of the dimensions
shown below unless adequate ventilation or other cooling
methods are used to lower the air temperature within the
enclosure.
